Go back to Meet the Team

Gail Schorsch is the founder and director of Bronx Eats, Inc., a community-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering Bronx families through increased access to nutritious food and interactive cooking education. Under her leadership, Bronx Eats has grown from local partnerships with community organizations and founding the Fordham Farmers Market to establishing partnerships with Bronx public schools and becoming a DOE-approved vendor under the Food and Nutrition Grant.

Gail's vision extends beyond food distribution—she's building sustainable systems that address food inequities while promoting health, wellness, and community connection. Through regular produce distributions and interactive cooking demonstrations led by professional chefs and nutrition educators, Bronx Eats is transforming how Bronx residents access, prepare, and think about healthy food.

Passionate about supporting local culinary professionals and creating opportunities for meaningful community engagement, Gail has positioned Bronx Eats at the intersection of food justice, education, and public health. Her work demonstrates that addressing food insecurity requires both immediate access to fresh produce and long-term investment in cooking and nutrition education.

Gail's mission is clear: build a more equitable, nourishing, and healthy Bronx—one family, one meal, and one community partnership at a time.
